Whales Reading Aloud

The Whales have been looking at how they read aloud and what they could improve on before their speeches next term. Here is a recording they made on Educreations of them reading their book aloud. They then created a reading goal based on what they heard.

PJ fun at camp!

We had so much fun wearing our pj's to dinner every night! Room One loves wearing our onesies.

Sgraffito Art

Hi, 

In Room 1 we did Sgraffito Art. Now you're probably wondering what that is?

Its a coloured  background with black paint over top. This is how you do it. First you colour your background with pastel, next you paint over with black so you can't see the pastel. When the paint is dry you get something to scratch it with. You can now draw what ever you want. We drew our favourite animal. My animal was a dolphin, we had to do its footprints but a dolphin does not  have feet so we did the sea. I chose dolphins because I love them. We had to draw an animal because we are learning about animal migration and why they migrate. Some migrate because its to cold (like birds) some migrate because they have to hatch babies or zebras migrate because they find fresh grass and food. They look fantastic up on our wall. I like the zebra, swan and tiger, you know what I like all of them. Room 1 put in tons of effort on them. Please try it yourself it was lots of fun!

Sgraffito Art

In room 1 we have been doing art called sgraffito art. You have to colour in the whole page rainbow with pastels then paint it black. Next you get a tooth pick and start scratching out your picture. I'm crazy about zebras and our class is learning about animal migration. On my picture I've included my name in big bold letters and my room number which is room 1. We also included the animals foot prints and made sure the animals name is on it just so people know what your animal is. Mine is a zebra people might say mine is a horse or donkey but it's not. Just try it, it seems boring but once you start it it's amazing. You don't have to do it about an animal you can do anything. I chose to do a zebra because as I told you before I'm insane with zebras I know everything about them. When people come in our class, they are usually the first piecesof art they look at. If you think it will be fun try it, just trust me, the zebra lover!

My first day at School

On the first day of school, I came to school and met some of my classmates. I did not know they were my classmates because it was my first day. Next, we went into the class and Miss Dower did the roll. I had a great time at school.

When I got home, I couldn't wait to tell my parents about my day at school. They were surprised as well! I said, "This school is better than the school in Singapore." My mother told me that this school is called Howick Primary. I had a good day, and there was another waiting tomorrow.
